El Salvador’s government continues advancing in educational infrastructure with the “Two Schools a Day” program, which has now intervened in 260 schools across the country. The initiative, launched by President Nayib Bukele 130 days ago, focuses on reconstructing and modernizing schools to provide safer and higher-quality learning environments.
This Sunday, work was completed at the Colonia El Edén School Center in Santa Ana Centro and the Cantón La Libertad School Center in Chalchuapa, marking another milestone in the nationwide effort.
The Colonia El Edén School Center will directly benefit 347 students thanks to an investment of $1.4 million. Renovation works include wall scarification to remove deteriorated paint layers, plastering, sanding, and repainting to achieve a uniform finish. Classrooms have been upgraded with leveled floors and high-traffic porcelain tiles, ensuring durability and modern aesthetics. New French-style sliding windows now improve natural light and ventilation, while metal doors built to international standards have replaced outdated structures.
Meanwhile, the Cantón La Libertad School Center in Chalchuapa, West Santa Ana, is receiving an investment of $742,000 to benefit 40 students. The reconstruction includes complete replacement of the electrical network with modern wiring and ceiling fans in each classroom, along with renovated restrooms and an optimized plumbing system. A newly built façade enhances the institutional image of the school.
Through these upgrades, the “Two Schools a Day” program continues to strengthen education in El Salvador, ensuring students learn in safe, modern, and dignified spaces.
